Ferplast Bluwave 03, 05, 07, 09 (amazon): geni.us/G4owUK
Only the 09 version was available at the time of uploading this video but hopefully that is temporary.
The Ferplast Bluwave range of aquarium filters seem to be a good alternative to the Juwel internal filters and they work like an integrated sump, holding the water for a decent time between intake and exit.
The 07 took 3.6kg / 7.9 lbs of biogravel making it suitable for a normally stocked tank up to 360 litres / 95 US gal. or a heavily stocked tank of up to 180 litres / 48 US gal.
However, the limited contact area for water in the foam section renders it of limited use for a heavily stocked tank so I'd say stick to a normal stock for this one.
A full cycle is completed by bacteria - the aerobic part of biological filtration which processes ammonia to nitrite and nitrite to nitrate followed by an anaerobic part which processes nitrate into soluble nitrogen which bubbles off to the atmosphere.
Therefore it requires a suitable amount of excellent quality filter media to be able to provide the environment for both aerobic AND anaerobic bacteria - that is what Biohome ultimate does perfectly but even with such good media there are limitations and we recommend the following amounts for different stocking scenarios:
(1 US Gallon = 3.8 litres)
(1kg = 2.2 lbs)
Average community tropical aquarium = 1kg per 100 litres
Average coldwater aquarium = 1kg - 1.5kg per 100 litres
Predator aquarium = 1.5kg - 2kg per 100 litres
Large cichlid aquarium = 1.5kg - 2kg per 100 litres
Malawi / Tanganyikan aquarium = 1.5kg - 2kg per 100 litres
Marine aquarium = 1.5kg - 2kg per 100 litres
Average mixed fish pond = 1kg per 200 litres
Average koi pond = 1kg per 150 litres
You may be disagreeing with the above figures but remember that they are for a FULL CYCLE not half a job - achieving 0 ammonia and 0 nitrite is quite easy since aerobic bacteria grows freely on any surface but the anaerobic bacteria responsible for COMPLETING the cycle needs more a specialized habitat.
Size a filter properly, set it up sensibly and you will have perfect water - it's that simple....and your filter won't be the dreaded 'Nitrate factory'.....you'll spend less money on treatments too......basically the filter is the foundation of a successful aquarium.
This series of videos is all about trying to squeeze more efficiency out of internal and external aquarium filters which generally have a limited filtering capacity - If you have a filter you'd like me to feature in a video then please contact me on:

Anyone who sends a filter (UK only at present) will have it upgraded and returned to them for free and the only cost you will pay is how much it costs to ship it to me - I'm helping to boost your filter and the resulting videos will hopefully be useful to viewers all over the world so it's a win/win.
The following videos will be useful to anyone interested in learning more about filtration, bacteria and making the conditions for your fish as good as possible:

We all are on a long path of learning.........

Nice to see another video and that looks like it will do a cracking job. Keep the videos coming as they are very informative and nice to see something a bit different
Guys, he is not lieing about his clay/stone bio products. The Red One! I have used them, they are amazing...
It looks more like a hang on back sump style I like it , frustrating that your vids aren't regular but its also satisfying TH-cam doesn't dictate your life like most on here, just keep doing what you do we appreciate it bud 👍😀
Thanks for the video pal, my go to for filters and media on TH-cam 👍
Yep, I think intake slots all the way up the side and reconfigure the first two compartments to allow the foams to be inserted vertically against the entire side with intake slots.
I love your biorb under gravel filter video.
I have the 60 litres and in process of doing this.
Could I also cut the bubble pipe in middle to give fish more space and irritate the water movement a bit more or would this stop the circulation of the biorb filtering process.
Thanks kindly Craig
Pondgurur where have you been? Hope yer staying safe in these tough times.
Pond Guru doesn't buy into all that government/New world order crap
@@stephen-truthseeker 🤡
@@elmee96 yes they are
@@stephen-truthseeker i bet you belive in unicorns too.
@@elmee96 there's no need too. the people blindly following the government no matter what you are the ones living in a fantasy.
Love watching your vids. Have you buy any chance done a pimp on the fluval Evo 52l marine tank. I would love to see one please
I have an filter as this and the problem that i have encountered is that the plastic walls inside the filter are not sealed and the water does not follow the intended route.I solved with silicone.
Yaaay new video
@Pondguru Hello from Greece! I have a 70 liters aquarium and i want to step up my filtration from the kit filter... I am between the Fluval 207 and the Eheim cassic 250.... I think the 207 is better but I would appreciate to hear your opinion! Thanks!
Hey Bro ! How Ya doing ? Mucho love from America !
YEEES!
Theres a canister made by ocean free i wanna see that come out. I wanna see if its better than the sunsun :v
The filter is called ocean free hydra.
Do one on the Penn-Plax Cascade 1500 filter!!!!!
I have a stock tank pond 110 gal 5, 4in Tosai and my water went green added air and running my total pond falls w/ coarse sponge and lava rock and 1200gph pump. All I can manage is somewhat brown water..is this because my biological isnt cycled yet.. algae seems under control...
Oi oi, love your info videos, could you do a pimp my filter for Laguna PF5000
I am getting a 170 ltr tank should I get the 600 biomaster or 850 as not much price difference?
Pondguru how do I achieve a full cycle on a tank with a freshwater stingray
Where do you get all these filters lol. USA doesn’t have this much variety.
We are a dumping ground for all the world's bizarre filters,lol
@@pondguru lmao
Hi sir,, how long biohome can be used?
Sir am Ali from Bangalore India, I have an Tank with dimensions 7x2.5x2.5 , and I have 2 canisters Eheim 2217 and Fluval Fx4, with 4 Arowana and 1 Stingray and an pleco, I cycled my water for nearly 2 months then put my Fish but still I have high Amonia. Please help, the media in filters is wat came along in box.
All of that for an 80 gallon aquarium? Kinda like using a .50 cal for hunting squirrels 🐿
Я тебя понял)
I'm sorry I know this video has nothing to do with the video I wanted to respond to but I was watching your video about the 22 long rifle versus the 17 HMR on the Xbox and I can't comment using the Xbox but is that what everyone really thinks of the US is that we all walk around with full autos because it's next to impossible to get a full auto in the US you have to go through licensing and it can take over a year to get your stamp back and it cost you a lot of money to get the stamp processed in the first place hell you were talking about 75 quid for a silencer being expensive 75 quid is roughly I believe about $83 in the US and you can't even make a homemade suppressor for less than that and if you get caught with an unlicensed homemade suppressor you're looking at at least 10 years in jail and $100,000 fine they don't want us to have suppressors in the US $200 for the tax stamp you have to wait close to a year for the government to approve it and then the cheapest ones that you can buy cost anywhere between five to $700 for a cheap one
That’s got to be one of the ugliest internal filters I’ve every seen 🤣🤣
This is great as a filter but Jesus christ who would want that hideous-looking plastic monstrosity in their tank? Just get a canister.
Hi Pondguru, That’s got to be one of the ugliest internal filters I’ve every seen :))))))))))))))))))))
